Trump creates 'Super Intelligence Force,' appoints Jay Clayton as new AI czar

After meeting a few days ago with key leaders in the tech sector, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the creation of the "Super Intelligence Force" (SIF), a new division tasked with overseeing the development of "super intelligence"—a term he recently used to refer to artificial intelligence (A.I.)—and to keep the United States as the world leader in this industry.

In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump stated that SIF "will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans."

"Following the Historic White House Accord on Super Intelligence, where the World's most important Technology Companies came together, and confirmed their responsibilities to the American People, I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF)," the president said.

"The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans," he added.

Jay Clayton will head the SIF

In addition, Trump announced the names of the individuals who will lead this new federal division. Among them is Jay Clayton, director of national intelligence.

"The Super Intelligence Force will coordinate the Federal Government's engagement with Consumers, Public Interest Groups, Religious Organizations, Critical Infrastructure Providers, and Super Intelligence Companies, and will be led by Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, and Chief Technology Officer, Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Scott Kupor," the president concluded.
